Template:Infobox:Fauna Flora The Sea Treader is a type of defensive life form belonging to the fauna category. It can be found roaming in the Grand Reef, as well as on the Sea Treader's Path, forming small herds.
Appearance
The Sea Treader has many sizes, ranging from medium to very large. Its body consists of a large torso with long, double-jointed back legs. Its front "leg" is, in fact, the creature's head and mouth, being also segmented and foldable for moving around.
The Sea Treader's head features two pairs of large and small eyes. From its underside, two large feelers protrude and extend upwards, growing close to its head. These feelers run along the entire belly of the creature and end in two bumps at its rear.
The Sea Treader's main body is mostly blue in color, decorated with bright bioluminescent orange patterns.
Behavior
The Sea Treader walks slowly and passively around its paths, constantly emitting loud, echoey calls. If the player tries to swim in front of it, the creature will attack them by pecking, or swinging its beak, removing 40% of their healthbar.
Sea Treaders often gather into herds, keeping the smaller ones in the middle of the herd, while the larger ones stay on the outside.
Sea Treaders occasionally stop on their track to either defecate (dropping its manure in the process), or to graze. They will place their beak into the ground and start moving it for a while to munch on seagrass or other nutrients.
Each time the Sea Treader takes a step, it may spawn 0-3 basalt outcrops that would slowly sink back into the ground after a while.
Future plans
The poop of Sea Treaders will be used as a fertilizer for flora in future updates.
Data Bank Entry
A vast bipedial lifeform which roams the reefs in herds.
-Long snout is used to siphon up plant material from the sea floor and maintain balance
-Analysis suggests adaption for migratory behaviour
-Large herds would be projected to decimate the flora of a single grazed area
-May interact with ecosystem in ways as yet undetermined
Assessment: Investigate interactions with local environment

Trivia
- The Sea Treader's feelers visually resemble those of real life squids.
- The way Sea Treaders move in herds is similar to that of real life elephants.
- Sea Treaders spawn on two paths: their own path, and the one located within the Grand Reef.
